I created an Amazon RDS cluster with two instances i.e read and write, after 5-10 minutes those instances gets deleted automatically. I had created a DB subnet group containing public subnet Ids, is this the issue?
Do AWS does not allow to create databases in public subnet within VPC?

I've created a VPC. By default the VPC created one public and one private subnet. I've created an additional private subnet in a different availability zone.
I then (in the ElasticCache console) created a new subnet group that contains these two private subnets from the VPC. This subnet group is also associated, of course, with the VPC.
Then, on creating an Aurora RDS within this VPC, it asks for a subnet group. There's one there, a 'default' group, but my new subnet group doesn't appear.
How do I create a subnet group that is acceptable when creating a database?
Well.. as it turns out the ElasticCache subnet groups are not visible when creating a database. You have to use the RDS console to create a 'Database Subnet Group'. Once you do that.. you're set.
ElasticCache and RDS are different types of product groups. Their SubnetGroups are different entities and they don't over lap with each other. You would need to create subnet groups in RDS to use it with RDS engines (database engines). They are not tied to any db engine, so you can re-use them within RDS.
One additional thing to note is that some other Database productions like Amazon Neptune and Amazon DocDB are able to access your RDS subnet groups as well. Just an FYI.
I have one Oracle SE instance that is not multi-az and does not have encryption enabled, and I have an Oracle EE instance that is multi-az and has encryption enabled. The former has the option to change the subnet group through the console (modify instance > network and security), whereas the latter does not. Both instances are in a subnet group within the default vpc, and I have a custom vpc within the same account with another subnet group in it.
What conditions determine whether or not it is possible to change the subnet group of an RDS instance? I have not been able to find any documentation on this so far.
It is the Multi AZ Deployment that is the determining factor. To test this, modify your DB instance and turn off the Multi AZ Deployment. Once it is done, go modify it again and you'll notice you now have the option to change the subnet group.
I haven't found any indication as to the reason for this behavior in the AWS documentation.
As #hackakhan mentioned, you need to have Multi AZ Deployment turned off to modify the DB subnet group of an RDS instance. Unfortunately, the RDS instance will only be migrated to one of the subnets from the new DB subnet group if the new DB subnet group resides in a different VPC. You could create a temporary VPC to migrate away the RDS instance only to migrate it back to your existing VPC and the right DB subnet group within that VPC.
The AWS Premium Support Knowledge Center has a detailed explanation of the steps involved: https://aws.amazon.com/premiumsupport/knowledge-center/change-vpc-rds-db-instance/
My understanding
RDS instances can't be migrated from one database subnet group to another if:
The destination database subnet group is in the same VPC as the current group
The instance has the multi-availability zone setting enabled
What worked for me
Creating the subnet group within my VPC that would be the eventual home of my RDS instance
Creating a temporary database subnet group in the "DEFAULT" VPC (my RDS instance has previously been a subnet group in a VPC that I had provisioned, not the default one) consisting of the three subnets that belong to the "DEFAULT" VPC—this can be done in the RDS section of the AWS Console, no need to go to the VPC section
Modifying the instance's subnet group to the newly created group (from 2.)
Modifying the instance's subnet group to its eventual home within my original VPC (from 1.)
I am trying to setup two RDS instance use by one EC2 instance. Is it possible to do so? How to connnect my EC2 to those RDS instances ? Is it done by creating security groups?
Short answer : yes. You can create many RDS database for your EC2.
long answer : Please read the AWS RDS documentation thoroughly. Example summary step:
Create your EC2 and associate to subnet A
In AWS RDS console , create a db subnet group R , point to subnet A
Create your RDS instances, assign them to the db subnet group R
get the RDS instances FQDN name
From your EC2 , install correspondence client and connect using above given name
When you assign RDS to the DB subnet group same as the EC2 subnet, it will place the RDS to the same subnet, no special route definition required.
I'm trying to move an existing Redshift database from one AWS account to another following How do I transfer ownership of an Amazon Redshift cluster to a different AWS account?. I've successfully created a snapshot of the old database and given the new account access to it. Both accounts have different VPCs.
When I try to restore a cluster from that snapshot, I receive the following error message:
You have no subnet groups that are suitable for restoring this snapshot to VPC.
Is it possible to restore a Redshift cluster to another VPC? I can't create a Subnet to the old VPC since it's in my new AWS account.
You need to create an Amazon Redshift Cluster Subnet Group, which is a list of subnets that Redshift can use within a particular VPC.
In the Amazon Redshift management console:
Click Security in the left navigation pane
Click the Subnet Groups tab
Create a Subnet Cluster Group by choosing a VPC, AZ(s) and subnet(s)
Then, try restoring the snapshot again and select your new Subnet Cluster Group.
I'm following AWS's instructions Scenario 2: VPC with Public and Private Subnets and am having issues at the point I try to launch a DB server.
When I launch my instance, all is fine and I am able to assign it to my newly created VPC. However, when it comes to launch the RDS, the only VPC available (on step 4, configure advanced settings) is the default VPC (ie not the one I created as per their instructions).
Has anyone any idea about this or indeed how to resolve it?
RDS requires a little more setup than an EC2 instance if you want to launch it within a VPC.
Specifically, you need to create:
a DB subnet group within the VPC
a VPC security group for the RDS instance
The documentation is a little buried in the AWS RDS documents. It can be found here:
